Des Moines, Iowa (CNN) - While he embarks on the final leg of Iowa race Tuesday, Newt Gingrich sounded positive about his chances in the first-in-the-nation caucus state.

"I think we could win," Gingrich said on CNN's "Starting Point." "Four of us are in a position to win this come late tonight."
The former House speaker once again attributed his slide in Hawkeye State polling to the barrage of ads attacking his record, many from a super PAC supporting Mitt Romney's candidacy. Without the ads, the candidate said he would still be the frontrunner.

"It's sad that he had to stoop to that level," Gingrich said of his rival.

This proclamation from the man who claimed to be a historian not a lobbyist!
